Dedicated with mock solemnity to his mule Boomerang, this early collection gathers the newspaper sketches that made Bill Nye a national humorist. Miners’ meetings, a mirage on the plains, a retelling of Damon and Pythias, picnics caught in thunderstorms and the hazards of life in Laramie are all treated with straight-faced absurdity.
Classic American frontier humour, a forerunner of the deadpan of later comic writers. Download the free EPUB.
